§ 43. Mr. Danceasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what record is kept of crimes of violence in connection with betting shops; and if he will give the number of such crimes during the most recent convenient period.
§ Mr. BrookeNo separate record is kept of crimes of violence in connection with licensed betting shops either in England and Wales as a whole or in the 147W Metropolitan Police District. In the latter, however, it is known that during the three months 1st August to 31st October there were at licensed betting offices three robberies, one case of malicious damage, and one case of attempted malicious damage.
